September came through, Aliyah has already integrated into our group circle and surprisingly gets along well with Alex. Although she doesn't sit with us since she found some new friends herself, we still invite her from going to the canteen to the restroom and when we wanted to have fun and go to Dodolon.
It also means that our responsibilities as students have become heavier, maintaining my studies as well as my relationship with Eric wasn't that easy and it only got harder when the months go by.
I sometimes reply to him late and he would do it as well, sometimes I would fall asleep while were chatting or wouldn't have a small date for two weeks straight.
"Tsk, tsk, why did you use your phone while there's a teacher in front of you" Georgia says at our two friends as they have their heads hung low in embarrassment.
"I really admire your bravery you two" Jamie states and continued. "Now you're gonna have to call your guardian tomorrow" she lets out a laugh and even stated that she has never been caught because she doesn't do it when a teacher lectures.
"No more wattpad, aww!" The other boys teased and Alex was enraged, cursing them out as she sat down with a downcasted expression.
"So now you know, don't use your phone at class especially when the teacher is still doing her lecture!" I chastise the two of them as they murmured a positive reply.
The two got their phones confiscated because Alex was courageous enough to read wattpad stories when our research teacher is lecturing, mind you our research teacher was a terror and even if she called us children, we still felt deeply terrified of her. The matter escalated more when Emil, one of the members of their research group and Alex becoming the real leader after Kris who didn't fulfill her roles, got his phone taken as well since he was playing when our teacher was teaching.
"But I turned it off and what a bad timing that our eyes met!" Alex whined and wanted to cry, she told us how it felt like her head was being stocked with pons and needles and felt cold amidst the hot temperature when they were being scolded.
At that time we knew they have reached the lesson that they needed and also served as a warning for us which we adhere.
...
I was one year older than my friends and this week, our friend Alex is now turning 18 and that is one of the significant events in our time of being close friends.
"What do you think she'll like?" I ask them, Alex was out with Georgia in the excuse that she needed someone to accompany her to the bathroom.
We are now in the topic of giving gifts to Alex and we heard her state that the doesn't want anything that does not include books and foods.
"Wattpad books? For sure she'll love that" Jamie indirectly proposed, we nodded at it and reminded us to get to the Pandayan to get her gift.
"But we have to be discreet about it" Jeline then explains. "It's better she chose what she wants, maybe ask her what she wanted indirectly and made her choose without being so vocal about it?"
We all soon have reached a conclusion, she also states that we would come to her home at 6 in the afternoon. Classes ended and we all soon got out of class, Eric was there already waiting for me as I walked to his side.
"Are you free now?" I ask, I knew they're having a hard time with their research group and that also accounts for the characteristic his members have.
"I am, I already told our leader to just kick the members who still acted lazily" I was thankful for that, besides our leader Michelle also kicked out one of our members and it was someone that she was once MU (Mutual understanding) with.
"Where are you all going?"
I forgot about our mission! I soon turn back to get to them and as usual, I saw their sour faces mixed with teasing.
"I really need a boyfriend" Jeline suddenly announced and Emil immediately agreed.
"What about you, Pauline? When are you gonna say yes to Apollo?" The others teased Pauline about Apollo, one of our classmate and is a fan of twice.
"Hmph, he's a torpe and I can't just ask him!" She says indignantly with a look of annoyance in her face.
"Hey we girls could now do that ourselves! No need to wait for boys, we can act on it!"
"Wow Emil, I never know that you have become a girl now!" Pauline mocked him and the two went to a fight meanwhile Alex was being helped like an old grandpa by the others because the terrain that leads to the highway lane is very rocky and muddy.
Eric held my hand as we walk down with careful steps while Carl and the rest of his gang teased the two of us.
"Hey loverboy! When's the wedding?"
"Bastard. It's too early, I haven't asked her yet" I punch his stomach making him cover his stomach and me almost loosening my balance.
After that we can only go to Pandayan bookstore and asked Alex what book she likes, confeiming it for the second time and surprisingly but not too much, she didn't even thought that we were preparing a gift for her. Truly stupid.
***
Chapter 89 is up!
Fun Fact: Yes all of the events like me being the leader and being helped down, the gift that they concluded since I was stupid was real as well as the phone confiscation.
Have a great day everyone and stays safe!
